Isotonic saline for babies with bronchiolitis
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving babies an “isotonic saline” (salt-water mist, like a very mild saline solution) can help children with bronchiolitis symptoms. It may help by safely loosening mucus and improving breathing, compared with standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 0 and 12 months old
- You can provide consent for your child to join the study
- Your child has bronchiolitis symptoms (such as runny nose, persistent dry cough, wheezing/crackles, trouble breathing, or feeding trouble)
- Your child has breathing signs like low oxygen (below 92%) or visible breathing effort (such as nasal flaring, pulling in the ribs, or grunting) OR needs help with feeding
- Your child does not have cystic fibrosis or another serious lung condition present at birth
- Your child has not been started on a short-acting “beta-2” medicine right away (because they plan to deliver the study treatment as a nebulized mist)

This study compares two treatments for bronchiolitis in infants: a saltwater solution (3% hypertonic saline) and a common breathing medicine (salbutamol). The goal is to see which one helps babies breathe easier.
This study looks at how children with bronchiolitis (a common lung infection in babies) respond to breathing treatments. It will also check if genes or other traits play a role. The goal is to better understand which treatments work best.
This trial tests whether gentle chest physiotherapy can help babies with bronchiolitis (a lung infection) recover better. It looks at how the therapy affects their breathing and overall health.
This trial looks at how doctors treat babies hospitalized with bronchiolitis. It aims to understand which treatments are really needed and where care could be improved. If your baby was recently admitted for bronchiolitis, this study might help future babies get better, simpler care.
This study tests whether lavender essential oil chest wraps help babies hospitalized with bronchiolitis breathe easier and recover faster. If effective, it could offer a natural way to soothe breathing difficulties.
This study tests whether a mist of salt water (3% hypertonic saline) helps babies with bronchiolitis breathe easier compared to a standard salt water mist. It aims to find a simple, safe way to treat this common lung infection in infants.
